As art found among ruins goes on display, site’s director says ancient life was just as complex as our own
An exhibition of erotic art found among the ruins of Pompeii will aim to show inquiring minds that racy scenes were present in homes across all sections of society and public spaces and that the images were not looked on in a scandalous or embarrassing way.
About 70 relics, including two medallions decorated with images of satyrs and nymphs that came from a ceremonial chariot found at the site last year, will be on display at Pompeii’s archeological park from 21 April.
